Tuesday’s Tests are Designed to Empower.. Rise!

Updated: Sep 29, 2021


If you think that you’re going to get away with killing the Monday Madness without a fight, let me set you straight. Victorious Mondays are important! But just because you won the battle doesn’t mean you get to drop out of the spiritual war. So, buckle up my people; Tuesday has arrived... so let's Rise!


Let’s start with projecting power. In 2011, Dr. Robin Rosenberg (Ph.D., 2011) wrote an article on how assuming a superhero stance (legs spread apart, arms on hips, head raised high, shoulders back) for just five minutes at the beginning of your day can change your outcomes. The stance projects power and has an immediate effect on your personal outlook. You become a conqueror, a hero, unstoppable. According to research power poses can even change your hormone levels, producing testosterone, which is often considered a victory hormone, well before you even begin the challenge! Rise!

My body tells me that the veal stance is way better. That’s the one where I lay in bed and watch TV, perfectly still, doing nothing, eating whatever, and vegging out…like a veal! Once in a while, we all take on the veal stance. Many men that I know take on the Veal Stance from August to February, every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday (NFL Season). Women do it too… I take the lead on that one any moment I can get. But like everyone else, I have to make money, get kids to school, cook dinner (every other night), make sure kids get showered and in bed before I can declare a day has ended, and throughout the day I am tested to see if I have learned since the last spiritual assessment. So then back to superhero stance… You don’t have to strike a superhero pose in public. Find a private spot. Take deep breaths, don’t think you can conquer the day… KNOW that you can conquer the day. There is no test too hard to pass if your breathing, thinking, anticipating, and seeking the answers beyond yourself. Rise!

So then, let's strike a pose! Before we stand in the stance, let’s get on our knees and give God all the glory. Ultimately, God gave you the power to conquer above and beyond anything you are facing in this present day!

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Approximately 1.5 million people in the United States ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9128411/).

While public school systems in America make efforts to include and educate neurodivergent children, they simply cannot meet the rising needs of this population. Furthermore, the social constructs of public schools make little room for children who are neurologically "different".

As a parent of a child on the Autism Spectrum, I had to show up to school on several occasions with Police as well as Child Protective Services between second and eighth grades for the physical assaults and bullying my daughter endured at the hands of children in public school.

Finally I found a private school for students like my daughter. I had to pay college level tuition to have her attend. So I took on a second job to pay for her to attend. When I saw the incredible change in my child who needed to be in a safe space for her academic "super powers" to flourish I knew that this was a solution not only for her, but for countless others. So I paid the high price of private education to give my daughter what she needed. She made good friends, developed life skills and has achieved academically in ways I never dreamed she would.

It occurred to me that so many kids like her are enduring the same kinds of physical assaults and bullying that she endured but their parents have no means to give those children a safe space to thrive academically as well as socially. So, I am working with friends, colleagues and community partners to bring forth the Isabella Vincent Academy for the Neurodivergent.  We're starting with Middle school and high school level students who have an IEP and diagnosis of ASD, ADHD, or Cerebral Palsy and other forms of neurodivergence.

 

Our mission is to provide an environment conducive to academic, social and behavioral learning experiences that meet students at their level of need. We aim to assist these unique individuals in their discovery of their personal abilities and provide them with career learning experiences that lead to professions amenable to their individual and unique abilities. This will help them become confident,  independent and able to contribute positively to society. 

Help us provide what these students need. Proceeds from our community thrift shop go to the fund to open the doors for this incredible new future for so many kids. But you can also contribute financially. Donations are tax deductible.
